Catch Drive deletions before they become dropped work
Know when a file disappears so you can decide whether it needs recovery or a follow-up.
Trigger

Why this helps
A deleted file can interrupt active work, while finding out later makes recovery and coordination harder.
- Notice a deletion soon after it happens.
- Include available file details in the alert.
- Prompt a recovery or owner check while context is fresh.

- 1Connect Google Drive and Agent mail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to email you when a file is trashed or deleted, including available file details and a reminder to assess recovery needs.
- 4Pick the File Deleted or Trashed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example.

File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
